Free Mobile Meta Checker
Over half of searches happen on phones — and a missing viewport tag breaks the entire experience. NToolHub's free Mobile Meta Checker audits the mobile-critical tags in your HTML: viewport, theme-color, web-app capabilities and touch icons. Mobile SEOs run it on every template before launch.
How to Use the Mobile Meta Checker
- Paste the page HTML and click Analyze.
- Make sure the viewport tag uses width=device-width without disabling zoom.
- Add theme-color and an apple-touch-icon for a polished mobile experience.
- Re-check after fixing to reach a full score.
Features
Paste HTML for six automated checks — viewport correctness (including zoom-blocking detection), theme-color, Apple/mobile web-app-capable flags, apple-touch-icon and charset — with a scored report and plain-language fix guidance.
Benefits & Use Cases
Correct mobile meta tags are the foundation of mobile-friendliness: proper scaling, branded browser UI, and installable-app behavior. Since Google is mobile-first, these tags directly affect how your pages are evaluated.
Tips
Always use width=device-width, initial-scale=1 without disabling user zoom (blocking zoom is an accessibility failure), add a theme-color matching your brand, and provide a 180×180 apple-touch-icon.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the viewport meta tag do?
It tells mobile browsers how to scale the page. Without width=device-width, phones render the desktop layout shrunk down — unreadable without pinch-zooming.
Should I disable user zoom?
Never. Disabling zoom (user-scalable=no, maximum-scale=1) is an accessibility violation that harms low-vision users and can hurt mobile usability scores.
What is theme-color?
A meta tag setting the browser UI color (address bar on Android, etc.) to match your brand — a small polish detail that makes sites feel native.
Do I need apple-touch-icon?
Yes if you care about iOS users adding your site to their home screen. Without it, iOS uses an ugly screenshot thumbnail.
